Colluvisols form a significant part of the erosion–deposition soil catena mainly in undulating,
agriculturally managed landscapes. Due to their sedimentary origin, they are soils with …

Soil erosion in loess landscapes results in soil organic carbon (SOC) redistribution and
storage in SOC pools. Understanding the SOC dynamics is important because changes in …

Water erosion, accelerated in sloped landscapes by intense cultivation (ploughing), can
rapidly degrade humus-rich topsoil horizons of chernozemic soils, leading to an irreversible …

Purpose Loess landscapes are highly susceptible to soil erosion, which affects soil stability
and productivity. Erosion is non-linear in time and space and determines whether soils form …

Colluvisols represent a significant part of the erosional catena in undulating landscapes,
often changed by long-term agricultural management. The present study provides a detailed …

This paper aims to reconstruct Middle Bronze Age (MBA; 1600–1250 BCE) land use
practices in the northwestern Alpine foreland (SW Germany, Hegau). We used a multi-proxy …

Humans have triggered or accelerated erosion processes since prehistoric times through
agricultural practices. Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) is widely used to quantify …

Loess landscapes are highly susceptible to soil redeposition processes and thus may
provide detailed insights into the record of denudation processes. Using optically stimulated …

The acceleration of soil erosion in undulating landscapes due to human activities has led to
a larger area of land being affected by intensive soil redistribution. Colluvisols, sedimentary …

Soil surface roughness (SSR) is one of the topographic factors affecting soil erosion.
Currently, temporal variation characteristics of runoff and sediment yield of SSR is still …
